While the main focus of our attention is on the search for a new defensive coordinator to replace Dan Quinn, now head coach of the Washington Commanders, we never quit looking for signposts about what the Dallas Cowboys are going to do in a very uncertain year. Mike McCarthy is now a lame duck head coach, and many of the current assistants also are in the last year of their contracts, which could lead to a large exodus on the defensive side, many perhaps to follow Quinn to Washington. There are also the somewhat unspecific comments by owner and general manager Jerry Jones about being “all in” for this year to muddy the picture.
